A memorial service — or a ceremony without casketed remains present — gives you more flexibility in how, when, and where you celebrate. You may hold a larger ceremony with speakers, or focus the celebration around photos of your loved one and special mementos from their life. By getting to know you and learning about your family’s traditions, memories, and preferences, BONNEY WATSON funeral directors will help you design a service that is truly unique.
Memorial Services
Why Do Families Choose Memorial Services?
Memorial services, in contrast to funeral services, are ceremonies without casketed remains present. Families choose the type of service they want based on a number of different factors. Oftentimes, families will opt for a memorial service over another type of ceremony based on:
- Timing. Memorial services can take place after the remains have been buried or cremated, so families have more time to plan, organize, and prepare for the ceremony than they would if the casketed remains were to be present.
- Families that do not observe religious or ethnic traditions that require the casketed remains to be present often opt for a memorial service as an unchurched alternative to a traditional funeral service.
- Family tradition, enabling families to uphold long-held traditions and honor life in a way that feels more comfortable and familiar.

Tom, Sean, Rachel, Chloe and the rest of the crew were phenomenal for the funeral we had. Everything was handled promptly, perfectly and professionally. Our loved one is now at peace.
My Family recently made funeral arrangements for our Mother. Tom, Jesse, and Brooks provided much compassion and care during the entire process. Every detail was taken care of and the day of the service went beautifully. Our family highly recommends BONNEY WATSON.
... Everything was seamless and I feel that the wishes of my loved one, who cannot speak for themselves any longer, were heard. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Brooks and BONNEY WATSON. I'm grateful I have them now.
